Sustainable Flatbush is a grassroots, neighborhood based environmental organization in Brooklyn, NY. They bring the community together to mobilize, educate, and advocate for sustainable living.
Meet founder Ann Pope, who's mission was to bring information about alternative energy to her community. Her efforts have since blossomed into an explosion of all kinds of constructive and inspiring projects: free swaps, pot luck dinners, maintaining a community garden, educational events all over the area on subjects like urban gardening, car free streets, zero waste -- and most importantly: the neighborhood has become a tighter community.
Sustainability IS possible even in a metropolis.
Imagine if EVERY urban neighborhood could take off in this direction?
